- There is strength and value in diversity of thought and experience.
- District decisions, at all levels, should be thoughtful, equitable and transparent.
- We value commitment and collaboration from our engaged students, families and the community.
- We value trust, respect and teamwork from our highly skilled and dedicated team.
- We are accountable to our public for setting clear expectations and optimizing resources to meet our goals.
Did you know that one of the many generous ways in which the Rotary Club of Scotts Valley supports SVUSD is by sponsoring our annual Welcome Back Breakfast? They even present the Principals with checks at this event! The District is now a proud corporate member of the Scotts Valley Rotary and our Superintendent, Tanya Krause, has been attending the meetings regularly.
